I've given it a lot of thought and, much as I've enjoyed writing this blog, I think it's time to call it a day. When I first arrived in Dublin in 2009 I was very much a country mouse discovering what I still believe to be one of the most exciting cities in the world. But over the last year and a half, I feel that I've become if not a native, then somehow a citizen! I belong here now. And that's not all. Yesterday, my boyfriend and I got engaged to be married! Everything is different, and I think that would-be visitors to Dublin would benefit more from a fresh view. I hope you've enjoyed reading. And do come to Dublin. It's a wonderful place to visit, and it's so easy to feel at home here. There's always lots to do and a warm welcome.

And if you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves :-)

Firstly congratulations on your engagement - that is fab news. Secondly I have really enjoyed reading your blog over the last year or so and it was great to read about all your experiences and how you see dublin thrugh your eyes. It has been a total pleasure and I hope you have a happy life with Bepe filled with lots of beautiful memories :)

wows congrats, but at the same time - oh no, last post ever! i've loved reading your blog. i moved to dublin at the same time, and you don't know how much you've helped me to find out about what's going on, cool things to do and places to go to...oh and where to buy my fruit and veg from too...

Nooooo! You can't stop writing! Reading your blog is like a daily ritual for me! I feel so bereft! Congrats on the engagement....it all sounds like such a fairytale! :) Hope all goes well for you in the future! But please reconsider ending the blog! I love hearing about all your adventures! xxx

A friend and I are heading to Ireland soon for the first time. You`ve really helped us get acquainted with the city and for that we truly thank you! We are so excited to fly in on Tuesday and because of you have loads ideas of all the things we want to do and see.

I am also a fellow Canadian currently living in Sweden and although the place is different, I`ve found I could relate to some of the struggles and adjustment of living in a new place that you talked about and that`s been very comforting. I believe I was one of many reading along and hoping you and Bepe would get together! I`m sad to see your writing stop, but am glad to see it end on such a happy note. All the best to you!
